The biggest shopping days of the year are almost here. So we’re sharing four tips to help you get ready, whether you’re looking for bargains, specific businesses to support or gift inspiration, period.

1. Filter your shopping results by small business

84% of people say supporting local and/or small businesses is important to them. So we’re making it easy for U.S. shoppers to discover and shop at small businesses this weekend and beyond. We’ve added a “small business” filter to Search on desktop and mobile, and to Maps on mobile. Tap the filter to see products from merchants across the web that identify as small businesses, including e-commerce brands, local businesses and sellers from marketplaces like Etsy and eBay.
